You can delete the one on your local machine but you can't delete the one on google server. Which means that one day, we shall publish your chats with your boyfriend on the pages of newspapers. All those bad places you have visited online long time ago will be shown to us.

Oops! This is just a tiny pinch of the iceberg in terms of art of bugging information from world citizens. Why do we think China, Russians and North Korea stood against Google and any American born internet establishments? It is simply to secure their national identity and citizens from being spy upon. It is just like the latest virtual/reality game "Pokemon Go" that was launch of recent that also got a ban in Russia, accused of being a spy app use by the American CIA to gather info.

However, registered members of the vaseline crew who always activated "incognitio" on their browser would rush to check if their incognitio actually was incognitio.

Nothing is secret.
Incognito? I laugh.

Why you dey laf na?

Because, it's funny.






























Incognito, what a joke. That's as easy as finding stuff via infrared.

Going incognito is being alive after you've crossed the Bermuda Triangle where the world believes you to be dead.

Lol. Someone knows too much to say he's so clean. I can swear your browser is permanently incognito, so you can easily check in at your favorite site when the vaseline thingy calls

When the thought “Internet” comes to our mind, one of the top 5 things that follows the thought is the brand Google.

This is because Google has gone places and made its name in the digital word; billions of people use Google services allover the world everyday.

If you are not using GMail, you will use YouTube; If you run from YouTube, then what about your Android phone?

Okay! you may still somehow avoid all what I listed above, but I am sure you will find it very hard not to use Google Search, unless you live in China, Russia or North Korea.

However, since you are reading this my post, there are chances that you do not live in any of the three countries; making it a possibility for Google to have stored a lot of data about you.

Moreover, It is worth noting that data about you which are stored by Google are not meant for evil or bad purposes; at least, Google’s slogan is Don’t Be Evil. Hence, your data is just for analysis in order to sell ads to you.

Steps to Monitoring Your Online Track
• In your browser, visit https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity.

• If you are required to login, then login using your GMail Account.

• After logging in, the first page you would see is your YouTube history which would be staring at you.

This page would show your YouTube search history as well as the videos you have watched.

If you want to get really deep into knowing what Google knows about you, then do the following:

• Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the MY ACTIVITIES page. It would display all available settings.
• Click on Activity Controls.

The Activity Controls page would show you all what Google can track about you. These include
Web and App Activity
Device Information
Location
Voice and Audio etc.

By Clicking on the Manage Activity link, you would be able to pause or resume data collection about your activity online.

Note that pausing an activity on MY ACTIVITY page does not mean Google would stop collecting data about your online activities, It will only limit the data collection algorithms.

The dicey thing about this my activity page is that Google want it to also serve as a medium by which it can understand you and better provide relevant information to you. But I have a mixed feeling about this; who on earth really want put all his or her online track in the hand of any organization that might hand it over to the government one day.
